About this blog

I’m a developer on the Base Class Libraries team, focusing on Resources, Collections, and IO. I started this blog so I can discuss these namespaces in gory detail without derailing the BCL team blog too much. Here’s what I expect to cover:

• Suggested usage patterns with these classes, pitfalls to avoid
• Obscure details to delight, entertain, and hopefully give insight into more fundamental issues, to help you use the framework libraries more effectively
• It’s hard to discuss the above two without getting into features that would be nice to have in the BCL…
• Performance!
• General software design/quality brain dumps
